Salvador Domingo Felipe Jacinto Dalí i Domènech, 1st Marquis of Púbol was born May 11, 1904 in Figueres, Spain.He was a very flamboyant painter as well as writer, sculptor and experimental film-maker. Salvador Dali was, in my oppinion, the greatest Surrealist artist. In order to understand the complex and bizzare manner of Dali, we must first look at his background.

The City of Drawers

Dalí said: “The only difference between the immortal Greece and contemporary times is Sigmund Freud, who discovered that the human body, purely platonic at the Greece epoch, nowadays is full of secret drawers that only the psychoanalysis is capable to open”.

Christ of St. John of the Cross

A personal favorite of mine. It seems as if it's from the perspective of God watching the crucifixion.
